Sixty thousand civil servants are still a little less than a country like this, but it is always enough to do so.

There were not tens of thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty managed extensively and naturally did not use so many officials. The precise management adopted by Zhao Yan naturally required such officials to support him.

Especially now, the territory has become much larger than that of the Ming Dynasty, with more than a dozen more provinces, and it is still increasing, so naturally there are more and more officials needed.

Furthermore, the times are changing, and the arrival of Zhao Yan has enabled this era to open an accelerator, and the economy is getting bigger and bigger, so the number of civil servants working in various jobs will naturally increase accordingly.

Of the 160,000 people who graduated this year, in addition to 60,000 being separated by the Ministry of Administration, 50,000 were asked to leave by the Ministry of Education, and the remaining 10,000 were asked to leave by the Ministry of Medical Sciences. There are still 40,000 people going to school.

In the twelve years, nearly 60,000 teachers were on duty, of which 40,000 were primary school graduates the previous year. After half a year of training, they started working one after another. However, with the current teaching scale, it is still only enough for education in Shandong, Shanxi, Liaodong, North Korea, and colonies. The newly-entered administrative system of Shaanxi, Sichuan, Huguang and Henan Province is obviously not enough.

For this reason, the Ministry of Education had to suspend the education plans of these four provinces, and next year, it only plans to force recruit teenagers aged 13 to 16 to schools. As for younger people, wait for a year or two for a while and educate part of the urgently needed education first.

...Since the beginning of the year, many unrests have occurred in Huguang.

The most important thing is the landlord riot, and the Huguang Armed Police Force suppressed for months and also reinforced 20,000 people from Shanxi and Shaanxi.

In the Huguang area, 50,000 armed police forces were assembled.

Almost every county has tricky existences, and not all landlords riot, but every county always has landlords who refuse to cooperate.

For example, refuse to measure land and refuse to register for household registration.

The reason why these landlords were able to riot was because they still had a mass base, which was based on the early clan.

The clan had a long history in the Ming Dynasty. Although most of the real big families had disappeared in the war, the clans continued to spread.

These clans formed many villages, and the people in these villages generally had the same surname, and there were one or several landlords among these people with the same surname.

These landlords have a high appeal among the clans. Although they charge land rent, these landlords generally do not charge too much. After all, they are of the same clan and the same clan.

Therefore, these clans have a mass base, so the riots are often the landlords with clan backgrounds who violently resist the government's registration of household registration and measure the land under their instigation.

The result was naturally similar. These landlords were found one by armed police. Most of them saw that the army was approaching and even the cannons were ready, so they quickly lowered their heads and surrendered. A small number of them actually felt like they would rather die than surrender. They even scolded Zhao Yan for being rebellious, so they were attacked by armed police and then captured... and detained and fined.

Those who are arrested are not too severe in punishment, mainly warnings.

Most of the landlords in Huguang were restrained. After returning, they obediently registered their clans according to the instructions of the government and measured the land.

The reason why Huguang landlords converge is also related to the relatively large-scale transformation of land and return to the current.

Among the activities of land reform and return to the flow in the four provinces, Sichuan and Huguang are the largest, southern Sichuan and western Hunan, and these areas are the main areas of land reform and return to the flow.

It was also a place where conflicts have been frequent since the beginning of the twelve years. A large number of chieftains were banned by Shandong Zhengfu, and a large number of armed police forces were transferred to Huguang, making Huguang landlords realize that this was not the time when they could cause trouble.

In contrast, the situation in Shaanxi, Sichuan and Henan is much better. First of all, there are no deep-rooted landlord forces in Shaanxi.

In the nearly ten years of treason, more than 70% of the wealthy families in Shaanxi were destroyed by the family, while other wealthy families ran away and fled.

Since the previous year, the situation in Shaanxi has been intervened by Shandong Zhengfu, so it has gradually stabilized and the landlords' power has begun to recover, but it is no longer as deep-rooted as before. Shandong Zhengfu has also had a high reputation in Shaanxi. After all, Shandong Zhengfu has vigorously maintained the public order in Shaanxi, and it has also continuously transported grain to Shaanxi for disaster relief. Shaanxi people all support this reform.

Sichuan has many vassal kings, and there are many vassal kings. These vassal kings have a small base and are arrested and solved by the thunderous force of Shandong government and axe, so they can't make any tricks.

The landlords in Henan have a deep understanding of Shandong's political axe. Henan is adjacent to Shandong, and trade is also one of the most frequent provinces among the provinces.

The Shandong army fought against bandits in Henan, and Zhao Yan provided disaster relief every year in Henan. Henan landlords all understood the consequences of resistance, and the reforms guided by Zhao Yan were unstoppable.

It's not for anything else, it's just because of the people's will.

The main content of this reform is taxation and exemption. The taxes of landlords are taxed and taxes of self-cultivated farmers are exempted. The people naturally applaud and praise them.

The same is true in Huguang area. Zhao Yan's people's hearts in Huguang area are not weak, and Zhao Yan's leading disaster relief over the years. This reform is also beneficial to the people, and the people of Huguang are welcome.

The landlords in Huguang had been making trouble for several months, but they had to give up when they saw this.

This reform starts next year. This year, both landlords and self-cultivated farmers in the four provinces do not need to pay taxes, but land prices have begun to fall.

The core of this reform is regulation, a major regulation of land annexation.

If the land is kept in your hands, when the bill is implemented next year, there will be more land and will be crying. If it is delayed until next year, the price will definitely be lower.

Shaanxi, Huguang, Sichuan and Henan Province are all exempt from taxes this year, and they don’t even have to pay miscellaneous taxes, and the scale of tax exemptions has expanded again.

This is the best year for the poor people in the four provinces.

Under the strong publicity of the government, more and more people supported the reform, and even evolved into fanatical support, because after the reform, the agricultural tax that self-cultivated farmers had to bear was extremely low.

Although it is tax-free for less than ten acres, even for dozens of acres of land, the agricultural tax is very low, and the government also guarantees tax-free for disasters in the year.

Furthermore, the reform is to regulate land annexation, and land prices have become lower, so self-cultivated farmers can also take the opportunity to buy some land.

Money is not a problem, just go to the construction site to work. A couple can earn three silver dollars in two months, and now the land price is about to fall below three silver dollars.

The decline in land prices continues and seems to have fallen into a panic.

Some landlords have the means to transfer the land to others on the surface, but in fact they still belong to them. However, the government obviously had prepared a long time ago and did not recognize the role of the vacancies. However, the transfer of land under official justice is to backfire and send the land out for free. Once others cheat, it will be useless even if they report to the official, and the government will not accept such cases at all.

This kind of fake method of using others is not feasible, unless it is a local tyrant, and can be temporarily maintained by threats and other means. However, the government is very interested in accelerating local tyrants, and the government has soldiers, so it is not afraid of local tyrants at all.

Whoever dares to do anything randomly can destroy it directly?

It is very common for officials to visit places, and even more common is that there are nearly 600 intelligence personnel in each province. The investigations these intelligence personnel usually do differently. Some are lurking, while others are constantly investigating.

Wherever there are local tyrants, these intelligence personnel can easily investigate them, so as to hand the information to the local government and report a copy to Zhaojiabao. When the Zhaojiabao officials receive the report, they will send people to verify it. The local government will also make appropriate progress before. If there are local tyrants in Hengba, they will be destroyed directly.

There are not many ways to escape this regulation, but it is not absolutely impossible to escape the net. However, the purpose of regulation is to eliminate a phenomenon. Although there are not deep areas, the purpose is to achieve it.

The bill has not yet officially started to be implemented, and landlords are already selling their land.

The number of agricultural companies established in Shandong is increasing, and these agricultural companies are equipped with the latest agricultural breeding technology in Shandong and the farm development model.

As the population in inland areas decreases through immigration, inland areas have also met the conditions for agricultural production through farm breeding.

These agricultural companies have a breeding license, and the land purchase limit can reach 2,000 acres.

The main development direction of these agricultural companies is overseas colonies, where there are many lands and the upper limit is also very wide. The upper limits in different regions are different, and the minimum can reach 8,000 acres.

But it is also a good development area in the inland areas. First of all, in the local area, farm products do not need to be transported long distances, so the cost is not much higher than overseas.

These agricultural companies began to invest in land in inland provinces, and some individuals from Shandong also went to inland areas to invest.

They are self-employed at a lower level, with a maximum purchase of land at 500 acres.

Whether it is a company or a self-employed person, they must produce according to the farm model. The core is to breed and produce more meat, eggs and milk.

In addition to breeding accidents, cash crops can also be planted.

To change this model, you must apply. The superiors sent someone to inspect and think that the farmers' plan is feasible before they can make changes.

The reason for this is to gradually eliminate intensive farming, increase the personal output value in agriculture, and avoid poverty.

What made the people of the four provinces even more excited was that all prefectures and counties have begun to build schools, and teenagers aged 13 to 16 must enroll next year.

The people are naturally excited about their children being able to go to school. The respect for scholars in this era was high, of course, largely because scholars can become the upper class.

The rise and fall of the landlord class is dominated by the imperial examination. Once a family of children pass the imperial examination, they can be exempted from taxes, become new landlords, or maintain their status as landlords. If no one passes the imperial examination, they will gradually decline.

It is naturally a good thing to be able to study. Few parents will block their sons from school at home, but many people will block their daughters from home.

This is an era of favoring boys over girls, and some 16-year-old girls are already married.

For these married girls, the official does not mandatory admission, but it is OK if you want to enter, and now men and women are still divided into classes.

But most people are still willing to let their daughters go to school. First of all, they don’t need to spend money, and they can also get pocket money. The food school is covered.

After studying, the treatment is very good. Although it is impossible to become a landlord like before, the iron rice bowl of three silver dollars a month cannot be escaped. People are happy that more and more schools will be built in the future, and children can enter the school at the age of six, or even at a lower age.

If you send your children to school, you don’t have to worry about not being able to afford them. Basically, the official raises them for them.

...In the first half of the twelve years, the number of Japanese slaves in the Ming Dynasty had increased to more than three million, of which two million were fighting on the construction site of infrastructure construction, and sweating under Lieyue.

The Japanese slaves were mainly concentrated on the construction of railway lines, and the inland areas had enough labor and did not need Japanese slaves to contribute to the bricks and tiles.

With the struggle of the Shenxi Railway and Beijing-Windustry Railway, one fifth of the two strategic railways, has been laid by one fifth of the road after half a year of hard work. With the preparations ready, it has become increasingly open. Three-fifths of the road can be paved by the end of the year and is expected to be opened to traffic in the next six months.

The Beijing-Hanzhou Railway, Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway and Yulan Railway have been decided to be built with private capital. Construction has started at the beginning of the year, and the funds will be paid first by the official.

After the opening of the Zhaojiabao stock exchange, the fundraising of these two railways has been completed. The returns of these three railways are relatively high. Although the returns are specified, they are determined by percentages, and the enthusiasm of private capital is still very high.

The construction progress of these three railways is faster. Except for the construction terrain of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway, most of the road sections are plain areas.

Under the expectation of everyone, after nearly two months of exploration and operation of the Shandong Railway Network, Zhao Yan announced that the Shandong Railway Network will officially start operation in July.

The operation of Shandong Railway Network has many benefits. After two months of opening-up experiments, the train has been confirmed to be in the same name as the convenient surname.

The railway network operated in July not only includes the main railway lines and branches of Shandong prefectures and counties, but also the Zhaotai Railway connecting Shanxi.

At the same time, the Jingpu Railway can be operated in mid-July. The Jingpu Railway can also be operated by the end of August. North Korea's Killing Railway has also entered operation. The five branch railways in Liaodong can enter the operation stage one after another in the second half of the year.

These railways planned to be built last year can be completed by the end of the year.

At that time, the coal from Shaanxi can supply grain, timber and other resources from Shandong and Liaodong can also be quickly supplied to Shandong and Jiangnan.

On the first day of the train's official opening, a total of five trains came from Shanxi to Shandong, transporting nearly 3,000 tons of coal and 2,000 tons of steel. Shandong transported a lot of cement, as well as various goods and grain to Shanxi.

The total towing weight of an extended train is more than 1,300 tons, and it will not be able to pull any more than 1,300 tons, which is a huge gap with the trains in later generations.

But such a load capacity is quite considerable. If you use a carriage, it will cost at least 5,000 taels of carriage, and the speed is not so fast at all.

Second, the train from Shanxi to Shandong reached seven flights, and the coal stockpiled at the railway station was continuously transported to Shandong.

Since it is a two-way rail, there is basically no risk of a car crash, only a risk of rear-end collision. However, trains are slow these days, and with telegrams, rear-end collisions are generally impossible. Once they occur, they will be a major management loophole.

The coal price in Shandong suddenly dropped by 50%. Not only did the coal price fall, but the coal was also sufficient, which injected fresh vitality into industrial production.
